[Taylor · Rating 4 out of 5]

My 7yo enjoyed this. It's a little wordy, but I think it's the kind of book that helps children expand their vocabulary and comprehension. (Although The illustrations are beautiful and the concept is fun. If it was a bit more succinct and, perhaps ironically, a bit more layered it would be a five star book.

Carly Simon was so vain to think that children would have sat through this.
